Docmentation

Anybody have some info or tutorial on this subject?
The developper information is severly limited and fragmented.

I've been fighting with the example/empty plugins but even adding a simple top menu with['menu_toadd']  is nearly undocumented.
Even if I search the source for this method I'm not much wiser.
Currently I'm not winning this fight.

Re: Docmentation

Basic plugin development documentation can be found in the regular GLPI developer documentation here:
https://glpi-developer-documentation.re … index.html

The example plugin has some examples of the various hooks although they are often more to show expected values than show actual functionality.

Something you can try since the majority of GLPI plugins are free and open-source is to look at the source code of plugins that do something similar to what you are trying to do.
The "News" plugin is one that uses the "menu_toadd" hook.

If you would like to contribute to improve the documentation or the example plugin, feel free to open a pull request on the related GitHub projects.
